Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances. Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood. The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off a very small amount of carbon monoxide during the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood. 3 WARNING! For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life. www.GEAppliances.ca WARNING! ALL RANGES CAN TIP BURNS or other SERIOUS INJURIES can result. INSTALL and CHECK the ANTI-TIP bracket following the instructions supplied with the bracket.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Care and Cleaning

Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support 5 Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and canned food a safe distance from your range. Always keep combustible wall coverings, curtains or drapes a safe distance from your range. Do not clean the range with flammable or volatile cleaning fluids. After prolonged use of a range, high floor temperatures may result and many floor coverings will not withstand this kind of use. Never install the range over vinyl tile or linoleum that cannot withstand such type of use. Never install it directly over interior kitchen carpeting. Avoid scratching the glass cooktop with sharp instruments, or with rings and other jewelry. Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the oven door, storage drawer or cooktop. They could damage the range and even tip it over, causing severe personal injury. CAUTION: Items of interest to children should not be stored in cabinets above a range or on the backsplash of a range—children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured. For your safety, never use your appliance for warming or heating the room. Large scratches or impacts to glass doors can lead to broken or shattered glass. Do not clean the range when the appliance is in use. Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for items stored in cabinets over the range. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with flame or hot oven surfaces and may cause severe burns. Do not store flammable materials in an oven, a range storage drawer or near a cooktop. Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the range. Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface burner by covering the pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher. Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by covering it with baking soda or, if available, by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher. Flame in the oven can be smothered completely by closing the oven door and turning the control to off or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher. Let the burner grates and other surfaces cool before touching them or leaving them where children can reach them. Never block the vents (air openings) of the range. They provide the air inlet and outlet that are necessary for the range to operate properly with correct combustion. Air openings are located at the rear of the cooktop, at the top and bottom of the oven door, and at the bottom of the range under the storage drawer or kick panel. Do Do not install this product with air curtain hood or other range hood that operates by blowing air down on the cooktop. This airflow may interfere with operation of the gas burners resulting in fire or explosion hazard. not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop can lead to damage and improper operation of the range. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WARNING: NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the cooktop or oven. www.GEAppliances.ca

Care and Cleaning

Operating Instructions Safety Instructions IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING. SURFACE BURNERS Use proper pan size—avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. To avoid spillovers, make sure cookware is large enough to contain the food properly. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since heavy spattering or spillovers left on range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be easily grasped and remain cool. ■Always use the LITE position when igniting the top burners and make sure the burners have ignited. ■Never leave the surface burners unattended at high flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire. ■Adjust the top burner flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cookware. Excessive flame is hazardous. ■Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holders come near open flames when lifting cookware. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a pot holder. ■When using glass cookware, make sure it is designed for top-of-range cooking. ■To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage, turn cookware handles toward the side or back of the range without extending over adjacent burners. ■Carefully watch foods being fried at a high flame setting. ■Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats. ■Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air from the vent may ignite flammable items and will increase pressure in closed containers, which may cause them to burst. ■If a combination of oils or fats will be used in frying, stir together before heating or as fats melt slowly. ■Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point. ■Do not operate the burner without all burner parts in place. ■Use the least possible amount of fat for effective shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling ■the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when food is added. ■When preparing flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on. ■Do not use a wok on the cooking surface if the wok has a round metal ring that is placed over the burner grate to support the wok. This ring acts as a heat trap, which may damage the burner grate and burner head. Also, it may cause the burner to work improperly. This may cause a carbon monoxide level above that allowed by current standards, resulting in a health hazard. ■Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan. ■Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool. ■Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop— they may melt if left too close to the vent. ■Keep all plastics away from the surface burners. ■To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be certain that the controls for all burners are at the OFF position and all grates are cool before attempting to remove them. ■ If range is located near a window, do not hang long curtains that could blow over the surface burners and create a fire hazard. ■If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the range and call a qualified service technician. Never use an open flame to locate a leak. ■Always turn the surface burner controls off before removing cookware. WARNING!

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven. Residue from oven cleaners will damage the inside of the oven when the self-clean cycle is used. Do not clean the door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket. Before self-cleaning the oven, remove shiny, silver-colored oven racks (on some models) and all other cookware. Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before starting the self-cleaning operation. If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have it serviced by a qualified technician. Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s Manual. SELF-CLEANING OVEN 7 Safety Instructions Operating Instructions Care and Cleaning Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could build up and the container could burst, causing an injury. Keep the oven vent unobstructed. Keep the oven free from grease buildup. Place the oven rack in the desired position while the oven is cool. If racks must be handled when hot, do not let pot holder contact the heating elements. When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions. Pulling out the rack to the stop-lock is a convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also a precaution against burns from touching hot surfaces of the door or oven walls. Do not use the oven to dry newspapers. If overheated, they can catch on fire. Do not use the oven for a storage area. Items stored in an oven can ignite. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the oven when not in use. Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms. Improper installation of aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or fire. Make sure a broiler pan is in place correctly to reduce the possibility of grease fires. If you should have a grease fire in a broiler pan, press the OFF pad and keep the oven door closed to contain fire until it burns out. Stand away from the range when opening the oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes. WARNING! OVEN (Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F (71°C) and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F (82°C). Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness. COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY… WARNING: NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard. www.GEAppliances.ca

Operating Instructions Safety Instructions Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model. Using the gas surface burners. How to Light a Gas Surface Burner Push the control knob in and turn it to the LITE position. You will hear a little clicking noise— the sound of the electric spark igniting the burner. After the flame lights, turn the knob to adjust the flame size. If the knob stays at LITE, it will continue to click. When one burner is turned to LITE, all the burners spark. Do not attempt to disassemble or clean around any burner while another burner is on. An electric shock may result, which could cause you to knock over hot cookware. Push the control knob in and turn it Extra-large burner only. to the LITE position. How to Select Flame Size For safe handling of cookware, never let the flames extend up the sides of the cookware. Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat. The flame size on a gas burner should match the cookware you are using. Any flame larger than the bottom of the cookware is wasted and only serves to heat the handle. Sealed Gas Burners Your gas range cooktop has sealed gas burners. They offer convenience, cleanability and (flexibility to be used in a wide range of cooking applicationes. The extra large burners (front) are the maximum output burners. Like the other burners, it can be turned from HI to LOW for a wide range of cooking applications, however, this burner is designed to wuickly bring large amounts of liquid to a boil. It has special POWER BOIL setting designed to be used with cookware 10 inches or larger in diameter. The smallest burner in the right rear position is the simmer burner This burner can be turned to LO for a very low simmer setting. It provides precise cooking performance for delicate foods such as sauces or foods that require low heat for a long cooking time. The medium (left rear) burner is the primary burners for most cooking. These general-purpose burners can be turned from HI to LO to suit a wide range of cooking needs. Before Lighting a Gas Burner Make sure all grates on the range are in place before using any burner. If your range has the Range Lock-Out feature, make sure it is disabled before attempting to light the surface burners. After Lighting a Gas Burner Do not operate the burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat. Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning cloths or other materials on them.

Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support Wok This Way We recommend that you use a 14-inch (35.6 cm) or smaller flat-bottomed wok. Make sure the wok bottom sits flat on the grate. They are available at your local retail store. Only a flat-bottomed wok should be used. Do not use a flat-bottomed wok on a In case of a power failure, you can light the gas surface burners on your range with a match. Hold a Lit match to the burner, then push in and turn the control knob to the position. Use extreme caution when lighting burners this way. Surface burners in use when an electrical power failure occurs will continue to operate normally. NOTE: If range lock-out is in use at the time of a power failure, the surface burners cannot be lit. support ring. Placing the ring over the burner or grate may cause the burner to work improperly, resulting in carbon monoxide levels above allowable standards. This could be dangerous to your health. In Case of Power Failure Use a flat-bottomed wok. Stove Top Grills Do not use stove top grills on your sealed gas burners. If you use the stove top grill on the sealed gas burner, it will cause incomplete combustion and can result in exposure to carbon monoxide levels above allowable current standards. This can be hazardous to your health. Top-of-Range Cookware Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is recommended because it heats quickly and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in an aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with tight-fitting lids when cooking with minimum amounts of water. Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will give satisfactory results. Enamelware: Under some conditions, the enamel of some cookware may melt. Follow cookware manufacturer’s recommendations for cooking methods. Glass: There are two types of glass cookware—those for oven use only and those for top-of-range cooking (saucepans, coffee and teapots). Glass conducts heat very slowly. Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used for either surface or oven cooking. It conducts heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check cookware manufacturer’s directions to be sure it can be used on gas ranges. Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor heating properties and is usually combined with copper, aluminum or other metals for improved heat distribution. Combination metal skillets usually work satisfactorily if they are used with medium heat as the manufacturer recommends. www.GEAppliances.ca Using the gas surface burners. LITE

Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn the oven on. Before you begin… The racks have stops, so that when placed correctly on the supports, they will stop before coming completely out, and will not tilt. When placing and removing cookware, pull the rack out until it stops. The bake burner is under the oven floor. Do not place foods on the oven bottom for cooking. To remove a rack, pull it toward you, tilt the front end up and pull it out. To replace, place the end of the rack (stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the front and push the rack in. CAUTION: When you are using the rack in the lowest position (R), you will need to use caution when pulling the rack out. We recommend that you pull the rack out several inches and then, using two pot holders, pull the rack out by holding the sides of it. The rack is low and you could be burned if you place your hand in the middle of the rack and pull all the way out. Be very careful not to burn your hand on the door when using the rack in the lowest position (R). The oven has 6 rack positions. It also has a special low rack position (R) for extra large items, such as turkey. How to Set the Oven for Baking or Roasting Touch the BAKE pad. Touch the number pads to set the desired temperature. Touch the START pad. Check food for doneness at minimum time on recipe. Cook longer if necessary. Touch the OFF pad when cooking is complete. NOTE: A cooling fan will automatically turn on and off to cool internal parts. This is normal, and the fan may continue to run even after the oven in turned off. If baking four cake layers at the same time, place two layers on rack B and two layers on rack D. Stagger pans on the rack so one is not directly above the other.

Care and Cleaning

Operating Instructions Safety Instructions Preheating and Pan Placement Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads. To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature. The control will beep when the oven is preheated and the display will show your set temperature. The preheat time will vary depending on the temperature setting. Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as much as possible. If baking with more than one pan, place the pans so each has at least 1″ (2.5 cm) to 11⁄2″ (3.8 cm) of air space around it. Do not place foods directly on the oven floor. Oven Moisture As your oven heats up, the temperature change of the air in the oven may cause water droplets to form on the door glass. These droplets are harmless and will evaporate as the oven continues to heat up. Using the oven. Aluminum Foil Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom of the oven. Never entirely cover a rack with aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking. A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch a spillover by placing it on a lower rack several inches below the food.

Care and Cleaning

Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support Power Outage CAUTION: Do not make any attempt to operate the electric ignition oven during an electrical power failure. The oven or broiler cannot be lit during a power failure. Gas will not flow unless the glow bar is hot. If the oven is in use when a power failure occurs, the oven burner shuts off and cannot be re-lit until power is restored. This is because the flow of gas is automatically stopped and will not resume when power is restored until the glow bar has reached operating temperature. Oven Vent Your oven is vented at the rear of the range. Do not block this vent when cooking in the oven—it is important that the flow of hot air from the oven and fresh air to the oven burner be uninterrupted. Avoid touching the vent openings or nearby surfaces during oven or broiler operation — they may become hot. Handles of pots and pans on the cooktop may become hot if left too close to the vent. Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop— they may melt if left too close to the vent. Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air from the vent may ignite flammable items and will increase pressure in closed containers, which may cause them to burst. Metal items will become very hot if they are left on the cooktop, and could cause burns. www.GEAppliances.ca Using the oven.

The temperature probe takes the guesswork out of roasting by cooking foods to the exact doneness you want. Use of probes other than the one provided with this product may result in damage to the probe or oven control. Use the handles of the probe and plug when inserting and removing them from the food and outlet. To avoid damaging your probe, do not use tongs to pull on the cable when removing it. To avoid breaking the probe, make sure food is completely defrosted before inserting. To prevent possible burns, do not unplug the probe from the outlet until the oven has cooled. Never leave your probe inside the oven during a self-cleaning cycle. Do not store the probe in the oven. The temperature probe has a skewer-like probe at one end and a plug at the other end that goes into the outlet in the oven. After preparing the meat and placing it on a trivet or a broiler pan grid designed for broiling, follow these directions for proper probe placement. Insert the probe completely into the meat. It should not touch bone, fat or gristle. For roasts with no bone, insert the probe into the meatiest part of the roast. For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into the center of the lowest large muscle. Insert the probe into the center of dishes such as meat loaf or casseroles. Insert the probe into the meatiest part of the inner thigh from below and parallel to the leg of a whole turkey. Using the probe. www.GEAppliances.ca (on some models) Cable Plug Probe Handles

Operating Instructions Safety Instructions Because heated air is circulated evenly throughout the oven, foods can be baked with excellent results using multiple racks. Multi-rack baking may increase cook times slightly for some foods, but the overall result is time saved. Cookies, muffins, biscuits, and other quick breads give good results with multi-rack baking. When baking on 3 racks, place one rack in the fourth (D) position, one in the fifth (E) position and one in the sixth (F) position. If pans will not fit, use rack positions B, D and F. Using the convection oven. Convection Fan In a convection oven, a fan circulates hot air over, under and around the food. This circulating hot air is evenly distributed throughout the oven cavity. As a result, foods are evenly cooked and browned—often in less time with convection heat. NOTE: The convection fan will cycle on and off while cooking to best distribute hot air in the oven. The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven door is opened. Multi-Rack Convection Baking Multi-rack position. The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly over and around the food. When convection baking with only 1 rack, use the rack positions recommended in the Using the oven section. Ideal for evenly browned baked foods cooked on 1 rack and for large foods. Additionally, some time savings may be noticed. Good results with cookies, biscuits, muffins, brownies, cupcakes, cream puffs, sweet rolls, angel food cake and bread. 1-Rack Convection Baking Extension Racks (on some models) Extension racks have a frame that locks into the rack supports on both sides. Once the frame is locked into place, always pull the rack out, by its upper front rail, to its full estension stop position, when placing or removing cookware. If extension racks are difficult to extend, lubricate the racks with the graphite lubricant provided with your oven. Remove the rack from the oven, remove debris in the slide tracks with a paper towel, shake the graphite lubricant and place 4 small drops on the two bottom tracks of the left and right sides. Open and close the rack several times to distribute the lubricant. To order additional graphite lubricant, read the Assistance and Accessories section at the beginning of this manual. To Remove An Extension Rack; 1. Make sure the rack is pushed all the way into the oven. 2. Firmly holding onto both the upper and lower front rails, pull the rack toward you, tilt the front end up and pull the rack out. To Replace An Extension Rack; 1. Place the curved end of the rack onto the rack supports. 2. Tilt the front of rack up and push the rack in. If extension racks are difficult to replace or remove, wipe the oven rack supports with cooking oil. Do not wipe oil on the rack slides.

The fan will stop when the door is opened, but the heat will not turn off. You may hear the oven clicking during baking. This is normal. Cookware for Convection Cooking Before using your convection oven, check to see if your cookware leaves room for air circulation in the oven. If you are baking with several pans, leave space between them. Also, be sure the pans do not touch each other or the walls of the oven. Paper and Plastic Heat-resistant paper and plastic containers that are recommended for use in regular baking can also be used for convection baking, but should not be used at temperatures higher than the temperature recommended by the cookware manufacturer. Plastic cookware that is heat-resistant to temperatures of 400°F (204°C) can also be used. Metal and Glass Any type of cookware will work in your convection oven.

Hot air cannot circulate well around food in a pan with high sides. How to Set the Oven for Convection Baking or Roasting Convection Roast Good for large tender cuts of meat, uncovered. The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly over and around the food. Meat and poultry are browned on all sides as if they were cooked on a rotisserie. The heated air seals in juices quickly for a moist and tender product while, at the same time, creating a rich golden brown exterior. When you are convection roasting, it is important that you use a broiler pan and grid designed for broiling for best convection roasting results. The pan is used to catch grease spills and the grid is used to prevent grease spatters. Place the oven rack in the position that centers the food between the top and bottom of the oven. When baking cookies, you will get the best results if you use a flat cookie sheet instead of a pan with low sides. 19 www.GEAppliances.ca

Operating Instructions Safety Instructions Adjust the oven thermostat—Do it yourself! You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks to become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat yourself. Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven. These thermometers may vary 20–40 degrees F (11–22 degrees C). NOTE: This adjustment will only affect baking and roasting temperatures; it will not affect broiling, convection or self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure. To Adjust the Thermostat Touch the BROIL HI/LO and BAKE pads at the same time for 3 seconds until the display shows SF. Touch the BAKE pad. A two-digit number shows in the display. Touch BAKE again to alternate between increasing and decreasing the oven temperature. The oven temperature can be adjusted up to (+) 35ºF (19°C) hotter or (-) 35ºF (19°C) cooler. Touch the number pads the same way you read them. For example, to change the oven temperature 15ºF (8°C), touch 1 and 5. When you have made the adjustment, touch the START pad to go back to the time of day display. Use your oven as you would normally. The type of margarine will affect baking performance! Most recipes for baking have been developed using high-fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher-fat product. Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low-fat spreads. The lower the fat content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become. U.S. federal standards require products labeled “margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low-fat spreads, on the other hand, contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor of baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil. +

Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support Burner Assembly The burner assemblies should be washed regularly and, of course, after spillovers. Turn all controls off before removing burner parts. The burner grates, burner heads and burner caps can be removed for easy cleaning. The electrode of the spark igniter is exposed beyond the surface of the burner base. When cleaning the cooktop, be careful not to snag the electrode of the spark igniter with your cleaning cloth. Damage to the igniter could occur. To avoid snagging a cloth on the spark igniter, leave the burner heads in place when cleaning the cooktop. Be careful not to push in any cooktop controls while cleaning the cooktop. A slight electrical shock might result which could cause you to knock over hot cookware. Wash burner parts with an all-purpose non-abrasive cleaner and warm water. Soak stubborn soil. Dry them with a cloth—do not reassemble while wet. To reassemble, replace the burner head first, then the burner cap and finally the burner grate. Be sure the pins in the burner head are properly located in the burner base holes. CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THE BURNER WITHOUT ALL BURNER PARTS IN PLACE. Electrode Burner cap Burner head Burner base Grate Care and cleaning of the range. www.GEAppliances.ca Burner Grates Porcelain enamel burner grates should be washed regularly and, of course, after spillovers. The grates may be washed either in the dishwasher or you may wash them in hot soapy water and rinse with clean water. You may also use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads to clean burner grates and the vent grille. Dry the grates and grille with a cloth—don’t put them back on the cooktop wet. To get rid of burned-on food, place the grates in a covered container. Add 1/4 cup (59 mL) ammonia and let them soak several hours or overnight. Wash, rinse well and dry. Although they’re durable, the grates and will gradually lose their shine, regardless of the best care you can give them. This is due to their continual exposure to high temperatures. Do not operate a burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat. After cleaning the grate, make sure the grates are positioned securely over the burners and that they are stable and level. Rubber Grate Feet For stability, your cooktop has rubber feet on the burner grates. If any of these rubber feet should become damaged or lost, replace them immediately.
